1961 — Norm Cash becomes the first Detroit player to hit a fair ball over Tiger Stadium’s right-field roof. Baseball-Reference.com doesn’t clarify which of Cash’s three homers that day — two in game one of the doubleheader — cleared the roof. The Tigers lost game one, 7-4 and won the nightcap, 7-6. Cash went 6 for 9 in the doubleheader, 4 for 5 in game two.
